Painting the smokey sunset


I drove through the Wind River canyon on my way to the dinosaur dig (see below). Wyoming has had a bad fire season this year, but on the plus side, all that particulate matter in the air means fabulous light effects. These are four paintings taken on the drive through the canyon late in the afternoon.
